The Lido.
WHAT IT REALLY IS LIKE.
Of course we are all familiar with scenes such as "Lord So-and- So and the Countess of Such-a-One bathing at the Lido," in the illus- trated papers; but the Japanese sunshades and vivid bathing con- tumes are rather apt to over- shadow the Lido itself. So. coming up from the East, though we landed in Venice in October, hopelessly out", of season, we thought we must, in social duty bound, visit the Lido.
From one of the piazzas, the vaporino, or "little steamer," fre- quently departs for various points along the Venelian abore. Our terminus being reached, we land- ed, and saw what the Lido is really Ike in all its nakedness, stripped of its gay crowds, a grey and hissing sea beating upon an empty beach.
We wandered like lost spirits into a sort of winter gardens, with stalls like an exhibition, but Ikanised with statuary and pinnts, peopled solely now by care- takers; and shivered awhile on the vasty and chilly beach

The Old Problem.
PLEASURE-SEEKING WIVES.
It has come to light that in
Northern Ireland there are more than two thousand widows to every thousand widowers, and, in the search for an explanation of the heavier death-rate among husbands than among wives, it was not to be expected that the latter would es- cape blame.
It is not, however, their cooking that is said to be at fault, nor their housekeeping, nor their ex- travagance. It is their thirst for pleasure which is said to be at the root of the trouble.
Husbands, they say, are worn out taking their wives to dances, sports, or motoring after their day's work. The wives want to be taken some- where every night, although most men, who are working hard during the day, find it essential that they should rest at home on some even- ings during the week.
It is the old problem that arises out of the fact that the wife's work, though it may be tiring enough, is

CREOSOTE FOR FLOORS.
I find creosote very useful and it is cheap. l'stain all my floors with it and they always look well. They get darker and darker after each application. Some woods go almost black: Of course it is no uso applying it to a varnished floor: The varnish must be re- | moved by washing with hot soda water first. The best effect is got by applying creosote to an unstain- ed floor. The result is almost per- fect then. Nevertheless, 1 have creosoted many floors which have been stained before. When the creosote has thoroughly dried, polish with a good floor polish, A gallon tin of erbosote costs one shilling and sixpence. I keep one in the house and frequently stain the parts of the floora which are worn by constant trending.
Creosote has A wonderful cleansing power, and I understand it is a disinfectant. Just lately I creosoted the woodwork in a smali!
It smelt lavatory in my house. delightfully fresh when finished, and the cost was trifling.
If there are children in the house, remember that creosote in poisonous and lock it away.-M. W. in Exchange.
